2











 

(a)           the Administrative Agent shall have received this Amendment, duly executed by the Borrower, the Required Lenders, and the Administrative Agent;

 

(b)           the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3 of this Amendment shall be true and correct; and

Section 3.              Representations and Warranties.  The Borrower represents and warrants to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent:

 

(a)           The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of this Amendment have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational action, and do not and will not (i) violate (A) the terms of the Borrower’s Organization Documents, (B) any order, injunction, writ or decree of any Governmental Authority or any arbitral award to which the Borrower or its property is subject, or (C) any provision of Law applicable to it, (ii) result in the acceleration of any Indebtedness owed by it, except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (iii) result in any breach of, or a default under, any material Contractual Obligation to which the Borrower is a party or to which its properties are bound, except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (iv) result in the creation of any consensual Lien upon any of its material assets except as expressly contemplated in, or permitted by, the Loan Documents.

 

(b)           This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and constitutes the Borrower’s legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be subject to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance or transfer, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).

 

(c)           No material consent, approval, authorization or order of, or filing, registration or qualification with, any Governmental Authority or third party that has not been obtained is required to be made or obtained by the Borrower pursuant to the provisions of any material Law applicable to it as a condition to its execution, delivery or performance of this Amendment, except those that would ordinarily be made or done in the ordinary course of business after the Effective Date.

 

(d)           After giving effect to this Amendment, the representations and warranties set forth in Article V of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects (except to the extent such representations and warranties are already qualified as to materiality, in which case such representations and warranties are true and correct in all respects) on and as of the Effective Date, except to the extent 

 

3











 

that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects (except to the extent such representations and warranties are already qualified as to materiality, in which case such representations and warranties are true and correct in all respects) as of such earlier date, and except that the representations and warranties contained in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 5.05 of the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to subsections (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 6.01 of the Credit Agreement.

 

(e)           After giving effect to this Amendment, no event has occurred and is continuing that constitutes a Default or an Event of Default.

Except as specifically modified hereby or otherwise agreed, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are hereby ratified and confirmed and shall remain in full force and effect according to their respective terms.

 

(b)           Reaffirmation of Obligations.  The Borrower hereby ratifies the Credit Agreement and acknowledges and reaffirms (i) that it is bound by all terms of the Credit Agreement (as modified by this Amendment) and the other Loan Documents applicable to it and (ii) that it is responsible for the observance and full performance of its respective Obligations.

(f)            Entirety.  This Amendment and the other Loan Documents embody the entire agreement among the parties hereto and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, if any, relating to the subject matter hereof.

 

(g)           Counterparts; Telecopy.  This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment or any other document required to be delivered hereunder, by fax transmission or e-mail transmission (e.g. “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment.

(k)           No Waiver. The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of any Lender or the Administrative Agent under any of the Loan Documents, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of any of the Loan Documents.
